The Red Cross has confirmed that
more than $5m (£3.8m) of aid
money was lost to fraud and corruption
during the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Auditors found overpriced supplies, salaries for non-existent aid workers and fake customs bills.
The disease, which raged between 2014 and 2016, claimed at least 10,000 lives.
It required a massive humanitarian operation costing hundreds of millions of dollars to bring it under control.
